Broken scalesSaturday 14 Sep 2002

No, I'm not kidding, and my glasses are clean. Yours a bit less.

Apart from the different drawing technique, the map you proposed is (with the exception of some minor differences that are in most cases glitches)identical to the one proposed by Haaretz Daily as map of Israel. I'm sorry I cannot read arabic, because I'd like to know what's written on it. The coloured areas in the map seem to be administrative regions. I cannot see something like 'Palestine' written in the yellow area, and it seems that since there is no subdivision in that area the Palestinians claim no authority or any administrative power on it. You know what the yellow area is? Do your homework. I see no 'Palestine' written in Haaretz's map too. Do your homework once again. But if you were intellectually honest you could simply admit that both those maps do not advocate the seizure of Israeli or Palestinian territory, or they both do. But first you have to tell me what the arabic writings on that map say... Do you know it, or did you have an incomplete possibility to examine map like I had, but you are unable to admit it?

In conclusion: you cannot state by that kind of map that it claims some sort of authority on Israeli territory. Better yet, Haaretz' map is less politically correct than the Palestinian one. Check the map of Israel on www.antiwar.com, in HaCohen's section. That is a good map.

I'm calling for the next one to tweak the correct perception of a 'map', although this attempt was better.. Oh, still too tired to answer? Your 'tomorrow' seems to come late. Nevermind, I'm patient with people wasting their time trying to subvert a correct perception of reality sacrificing their integrity. Although I generally do not advocate their usage, perhaps neuroleptics will suit your illness. Or better yet, do your geography exams at the University before bothering me with such silly things, or even before proposing another stupid Mercator vs Peters debate. Again, do your homework!
